Between three and four o'clock Sun day morning sn alarm of fire turned ! ut half the people ID the town. Al first its whereabouts could not be lOcet- ed by the host of ibquIrers that were
 rushing about the streets i3quiring If one another which way to go. The de
 Isy however. was but momentRry, as the appearance of the riremen soon settled the direction of the fire. which was found
 10 be n the San Francisco saloon of
 Ohss. Regeser, on the east side of Mey-
 CT street. between Camp and Messillo streets.
 AS everything m the saloon was of s
 highly inismable character, the interior
 soon giowed and snapped like fer
 furnace. IL wss st once apparent that
 nothing Tn the place could De saved, sDd
 the firemen immediately furaed
 their attention to saving sdjoin- Ing buildings which were fierce ly threatened. Frank Miltenberg's City Bakery sd!oined the saloon on the south and Chsrolesu's building on the north. Both were faced with awnings
 and ttese were speedily a6laze and threatened the destruction Of the whole
 block. They were. however, soon drown ed by tue iremen, and the dGn ger from this Everied. Water was then t1rned on and she fire quickly gotten under con- trol.

 The fire, originating as ]. cid in tine center of block and with a strong wind blowing at the time, would have done great injury bu. for the promp;- hess Hnd activity with which the fireneu and hsndled the fire. Men never did better service, nor did It more effectively. The insurance companies owe them a vote of thanks if nothIng else for the many thousands of iollsrs worth of property they saved by heir heroic eIertions.
